170 Insects: Supplemental Guide DA | Domain Assessment
This domain assessment evaluates each student’s retention of
domain and academic vocabulary words and the core content
targeted in Insects. The results should guide review and
remediation the following day.
There are three parts to this assessment. You may choose to
do the parts in more than one sitting if you feel this is more
appropriate for your students. Part I (vocabulary assessment)
is divided into two sections: the fi rst assesses domain-related
vocabulary, and the second assesses academic vocabulary. Parts
II and III of the assessment address the core content targeted in
Insects. Part I (Instructional Master DA-1)

sentence, circle the frowning face. I will say each sentence two
times. Let’s do number one together.- Insects: Insects are the largest group of animals on Earth.
